RGB vs RGBW vs RGBWW vs RGBIC vs RGBCCT LED Strip Light

1. What is rgb led strip?
rgb led light strip refers to a light strip composed of RGB light beads, PCB board and resistor. The common light beads of this lamp belt are 5050 RGB, 2835 rgb and 3838 RG. This product can achieve 265 different color changes through the continuous switching of three colors: red, blue and green.
2. What is rgbw led light Strip?
rgbw led light belt refers to the led light belt in addition to red, blue and green three chips, but also with white light. This white light, it can be 3000k, 4000k, 5000K, 6000K and so on. At present, the most used is the lamp strip made of 5050rgbw 4-in-1 lamp beads. Of course, we can make rgbw led lamp strips by RGB lamp beads and white light together, such as 5050 rgb+2835, 5050 rgb+3528, 3838 rgb+2835 and so on.
3. What is rgbww & rgbcct light Belt?
rgbcct led light belt, also known as rgbww led light belt or rgbcw led light belt, this light belt in addition to red, blue and green three kinds of chips, but also with warm white and cold white two kinds of white chips.
At present, the most popular is the lamp strip made of 5050 5 in 1 lamp beads; Of course, it can also be composed of RGB plus two white lamp beads, or RGB lamp beads plus warm white and cold white two-in-one lamp beads.

4. What is RGBIC led light belt?
RGBIC led strip refers to the rgb strip with a built-in or external chip, which can realize the color of the led strip at different positions at the same time. Through this setting, we can achieve animation changes, or special lighting effects such as water, the color is more rich and delicate.

6. What's the difference between their controllers?
First of all, the controller of the rgbww & rgbcct lamp belt, which has five channels, respectively corresponding to V+, R, G, B, CW, WW. The controller is also compatible with RGB and RGBW light strips.
Second, the controller of the rgbw lamp belt, it has four ways, corresponding to V+, R, G, B, W. This controller can also be compatible with RGB light strips, but cannot control rgbcct light strips.
Third, the rgb light belt controller, it has only three ways, respectively corresponding to V+, R, G, B. Because the rgb light strip is the most popular light strip in the market, the rgb controller is also the most widely used, and there are many kinds. For example, there are ordinary 24 key /48 key button controller, touch sensor controller, Wifi, Bluetooth, DMX and other forms.
Finally, the RGBIC controller, this controller is different from the three controllers above. He does not control the lamp strip by electric current, but by controlling the pixels of the lamp strip to achieve color control.

7. Which kind of lamp belt is better?
First of all, it mainly depends on our own use needs. At present, the shipments of rgb led lamps on the market are the largest, and it has been able to meet most of the application needs.
Second, if you have high requirements for white light in product applications, it is best to choose RGBW led lamp belt. Because the white light obtained by mixing red, blue and green chips is not so pure, Ra is generally only 70 or lower, in addition, the brightness is not enough, and can not meet the needs of high-end engineering. The white light inside RGBW can be customized by color temperature optical parameters to achieve higher brightness, and Ra can also achieve 80 or 90.
Third, if in addition to red, blue, green and white light, you also want to achieve the color change between white and warm white light inside this lamp, then you need to choose rgbww lamp belt.
Fourth, if you use the process, you need this light strip real light with horse racing, beating effect; Or similar to the effect of video display, then you need to choose RGBIC LED light belt.
Finally, the prices of different kinds of products are also different. In addition to considering the application requirement scenario of the product, we consider our budget. If the budget is sufficient, RGBWW led lights are the best, because it has a richer function and can meet the needs of various applications. If the budget is relatively general, we can choose the ordinary rgb led light belt, it is also able to achieve most of our use requirements.

8. Frequently asked questions are answered as follows:
8.1 Which is better? RGB or RGBW?
If you only need the basic RGB color without the appropriate white, then the basic RGB LED strip is usually more cost effective. However, if you do need white (for task lighting, for example), then RGB+W is a better choice.
8.2 Can RGB leds produce white light?
Prism white (also known as RGB white) is a simple combination of red, green, and blue light, making the color look somewhat like white. But honestly, it looks more like a rainbow than white!
If you want pure white, then you have to choose rgbw led. RGBW LED In addition to red, green, blue LED chips, there are white LED chips. More than one white LED chip, you can get a more real and brighter white light.
If you want pure white, then you have to choose rgbw led. RGBW LED In addition to red, green, blue LED chips, there are white LED chips. More than one white LED chip, you can get a more real and brighter white light.
8.3 What is the difference between rgbw and rgbcw/rgbww (or rgbcct)?
One simple difference between RGBW and RGBCW/WW is that RGBW has a single channel of pure white and one color temperature. The RGBCW/WW has two white channels that allow adjustment between the two white temperatures.
8.4 Is RGBIC better than RGB?
The RGBIC LED strip is a new product that offers a major advantage over the regular RGB LED strip: you can set multiple colors on the strip at the same time. This is possible because of its ICS (hence the name) and subdivision.
8.5 Is RGBW brighter than rgb?
RGBW four-color is a white chip on the basis of RGB. Therefore, in general, RGBW is much brighter than RGB, and the light efficiency is also higher. However, rgbw also uses more power.
9. Summary
Through the above analysis, we know that RGB, RGBW, RGBWW, RGBIC, RGBCCT led lamp belts, their main difference in color and use of different scenarios. In actual use, we need to choose the right product according to our specific needs and budget.
